Skipper & Red (find more photos on our flickr page)

Skipper and Red are the two newest members of the Incline Press team.  Both enthusiastic barkers, Skipper also shows a predeliction for eating paper and chasing cats, while Red, as is appropriate for a dog who came from Reading in Berkshire, is shown here perusing the Incline Press bookshelves. 
Both Skipper and Red are rescued dogs.  Skipper wound up in the Oldham RSPCA shelter when his owner was no longer able to care for him during a lengthy hospital stay. He was exactly what we were looking for, and after a few walks around our workshop, we were permitted to keep him.  Red comes from a bit farther afield.  Shortly after we decided it was time for a new dog, we discovered the Little Dog Rescue website--we can highly reccomend these good people, not only for their adorable dogs, but also for the sterling work of the dedicated fosterers.  Poor Red was abandoned in Croyden and found living among the rubbish bins behind a shopping centre. He had a fostering stay with a wonderful family in Reading; we brought him to Oldham, where he is a most popular addition to our staff. Although it has taken two dogs to fill the hole left by Whizzer, their antics havecertainly brought some more zing to the workshop. And the mouse has gone.
